Should have thought of that before hitching up to a lunatic.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
It's insane to think that the same two partys remain in control in the US. Yet they call it democracy.
- I'm referring to the voters, and their lack of action when their main party ha proven useless. The 'swing voters' never seem to swing between anything other than those two.
Hopefully the republicans can go the way of the whigs, the democratic party can become the conservative party they so desperately want to be, and we can create an actual party on the left.

Here's hoping we send a few of you to prison too.
The Republican party deserves to die for allowing Donald Trump to rise to power. The Democrat party deserves to die for being useless to stop them. America needs a whole new fresh start with new parties
But bruh if u vote for third party, it's a win for Donald Trump bruh.

We were within 2% of stopping them. If you bastards had got on board, we wouldn't be in this mess.
Na. It's the Democrats politicians fault. Send more money to Israel.
Let's blame the voters instead of our shit policy and campaign that promises them nothing much more than republican lite
Would that not be better than full fascism?

Chaotic evil is more showy but that doesn't mean that lawful evil isn't also evil.

He did vote against the Canadian tariffs actually. It'll pass anyway though.

I might be excited if the Dems would do anything with their power.
They'll give the rest of the world a breather which will allow us to finish forming a new economic and strategic structure where the United States plays a substantially diminished role. After that it won't matter whether the Republicans or Democrats are in power; at least not to most of the world.
If the 1920s really are repeating then, if we survive the Trump administration, we've got a modern version of the New Deal on the way.
Just give me high speed rail, dude. I want high speed rail SO BAD.
And then an epic ass-whooping - only this time on the receiving end since we're the baddies now.
🤨
They'll help the rich as usual, how do you think we got here?
…then f*cking impeach, you imbecile…
It's nothing but talk for these AHs and trying to save face. Besides it's not like if DJT is removed that we'd fair any better. We'd have couch fucker to contend with and he's just as bad.
Both you and Mitch McConnell are the reason he's here
Make it so.
Touch that stove!
Sometimes you gotta learn the hard way
